citations are not always accurate. When using any citation builder (including
RefWorks or NoodleBib), you should double-check the results against the
appropriate style guide or manual. No automated system
is perfect, so always carefully examine the citations that are produced
before inserting them into a "Works Cited" or "References"
page.
